Hamptom Theatre Company Presents NOVEMBER

Meet incumbent U.S. President Charles Smith. His party affiliation is neither clear nor relevant; his most significant identifying characteristic is that he is undeniably and irredeemably venal. And unpopular.

It's November in a presidential election year and President Smith's chances for reelection are less than slim. Approval ratings are near zero. Abandoned by his party, his money is running out, and an offhand comment to his wife might spark a nuclear war. Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her move out of the White House, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. If only he could strike a deal with the Turkey Representative ...

Premiering on Broadway in 2008, David Mamet's scathingly satirical take on American politics in November remains eerily relevant in this 2016 election season. With Mamet's trademark no-holds-barred style, November is a caustic characterization of the egomania and moral elasticity that infect too many politicians, and the kind of power-madness that's a danger in any elected official.

Don't miss the final days of David Mamet's Oval Office satire, "November" at Hampton Theatre Company until November 6. Tickets and showtimes: www.hamptontheatre.org
